Good luck!

I hope it works ... if it does, make some of that noise, 'cause a reef-safe ich med would be awesome . . .

I used No Ich Marine which helped but very little, so I ordered some Kodans Ich Attack, if anyone had any experience using it please let me know.

It almost looks like mine , but only he is not skinny but rather quite active and healthy just covered in salt crystals .

He was young. That is why he is skinny. He was eating like a pig until he passed. Very Disappointing because he was cruising the rocks searching for food. Not many eat in captivity much less search for pods.

Ok so it appears that the medication is helping, there is less and less white crystals on my fish, hopefully it will kill ich cause that medication is supposed to kill the free floating ich first. I will keep this updated as much as possible

If your fish looks like that you soon will have an empty tank you can use for qt if you don't act quick and get him in copper. You mentioned a qt being 150$ you can use a large plastic storage bin if you have to there about 10$ at Home Depot get a sponge filter and you probably have an air pump, bam instant temporary qt and dad won't even know what the heck it is Good luck
